Isn’t methane, a "greenhouse gas", produced when biodegradation occurs in a landfill? Isn’t it bad for the environment?

Methane is a greenhouse gas; however, it is also a viable energy source. Most landfills today are managed to promote and accelerate the generation of greenhouse gases; so, they can be captured for destruction &/or energy recovery, as well as free up landfill space. Some of the successes of the EPA’s LMOP (Landfill Outreach Program) are offsetting the use of nonrenewable resources and improving air quality by controlling the emissions from landfills.

The 13 billion kilowatt-hours of generation electricity reported for 2009 equates to the green house gas emissions from more than 17 million cars annually. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
